SAFETY PRECAUTIONS POWER SUPPLY ATTENTION: READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE INSTALLING THE PRODUCT - This product is intended to be installed by Qualified Personnel only. The C-BOX 3X0 is intended to be supplied either by a UL Listed NEC Class 2 power source, or a UL Listed ITE Limited Power Source (LPS), rated 10-30 V dc, minimum 0.5 A. See par. 2.4.1 for correct power supply connections. SAFETY NOTES Observe the general rules for PROFIBUS components when planning the C-BOX installation. Please observe the following to avoid risk to personnel and damage to equipment and to ensure that the C-BOX 3X0 functions correctly: Safety Regulations Observe the guidelines in the VDE 0100 regulations for

handling electrical components, Observe the applicable safety and accident prevention regulations. The C-BOX must only be installed or uninstalled by qualified technical personnel with appropriate electro-technical qualifications.

PROFIBUS Standard Observe the guidelines in the PROFIBUS standard EN 50 170.

Bus Cable Bus wiring should only take place using special shielded,

twisted pair PROFIBUS cable. The high data transfer rates can only be guaranteed with the correct cable type.

Cable Lengths Refer to the manual for the DP master for information on

maximum cable lengths for PROFIBUS.

ix

Terminating Resistors Terminating resistors must be used if the C-BOX is installed at the beginning or end of the PROFIBUS cable segment. In this case, it is recommended to use PROFIBUS connectors which contain an integrated terminating resistor. It is recommended to use connectors from ERNI and Siemens. If the bus is incorrectly terminated, this can lead to errors in data transfer or to damage to other stations on the bus.

Bus Connectors It is recommended to use only commercially available

PROFIBUS connectors for connecting the bus. It is recommended to use connectors from ERNI and Siemens.

Cable Shield Shielded cables are less sensitive to interference due to

electromagnetic fields. With shielded cables, the interference currents are led to ground through the shielding rail, which is electrically connected to the case. To ensure that the interference currents which flow through the shielding do not themselves interfere with other devices, it is important to provide a low impedance connection to the protective ground. Observe the following rules for the shields of the PROFIBUS cable and the serial interface cable: – The braiding of the shielding should have a

degree of coverage of more than 80%. – The shielding should include a braided shield and

should not consist solely of foil shielding, since the latter can be easily damaged by cable tension and pressure.

– To ensure good immunity to interference at high frequencies as well, the shielding of the cable should be attached to the shielding rail at both ends of the cable.

When connecting up the C-BOX 3X0, it is recommended to observe the guidelines in the VDE 0100 regulations for handling electrical equipment. WEEE COMPLIANCE
